I know he captained the first team & also gave a simultaneous display at the club one weekend.

Re: Event Cancellation

Bolton Easter Congress 2022. This was scheduled for Friday 15th to Sunday 17th April. The event has been cancelled owing to the venue not being available. I presume the venue (Bolton Ukrainian Club) has been involved with fundraising. I noticed this online: https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/2002...
